On Friday 13th November 2026, head to Broad Street Methodist Church in Spalding at 7.30pm to learn all about ‘Magna Carta: New Discoveries’.
This talk, by Nicholas Vincent, Professor of Medieval History at the University of East Anglia, will feature lots of pictures, a simple introduction to what the Magna Carta is (and isn’t), and plenty of indiscretions…
The lecture will explore the discovery of new original Magna Cartas that had previously been overlooked. It will also focus on the ‘Razzamataz’ that accompanies such discoveries, seeing why some stories get star billing, while others (in scholarly or historical terms far more significant) never seem to attract notice beyond a narrow academic fringe.
The event is £5 per person with free entry for full-time students. Tickets are available on the door. Doors open at 7pm and the lecture starts at 7.30pm. For more information, please email lectures@sgsoc.org
